Does this sound like reflux?

[Hotmad]

Hi my DD is 8 weeks and for the last week she has been possetting more than usual and vomiting sometimes after a feed and sometimes an hour after a feed, not all feeds and not at any particular time of day. We started off breastfeeding then combined and now for the last 2 weeks the formula has Been increased so I wonder if this has triggered a problem? We use aptamil first stage. We went to dr the first day she was sick about 5 times and they wasn't concerned, thought a bug. Seen again by dr a couple days after and she had reduced sickness to just once or twice that day and dr checked her and was ok, no real definite conclusion but since then she still been sick and sometimes 1 or 2 times and sometimes 4 or 5 like yesterday. She seems to be quite upset by the vomiting not the possetting though. She seems to get windy during feed then I burp her and she is sick or hour later despite winding and sitting up for 20 mins after feed she can cry and then vomit. I will see dr again on Monday but do you think it's reflux? Or should I be more concerned?

Sounds like reflux - what does the vomit smell and look like?

If it smells acidic and looks curdled then it's reflux.

I would go to the Dr just to confirm.

In the meantime There are a number of things that can help - feeding baby as upright as possible, and then keeping upright for at least 20 mins after the feed. Prop the baby's cot up one end so she is not lying flat.

I have just changed the teat size on my 11 week old DS's bottles and that seems to help have helped massively with the wind/colic and he just seems easier in himself.

I also took the boy to a cranial osteopath which helped.

Baby probiotics can also help and Aptamil do a reflux milk.

Good luck tomorrow at the Drs - hope you get to the bottom of it soon and your DD stops being poorly.
